Donated to the Greater Flushing Chamber of Commerce Annual Gala October 2018
Exhibited at Fort Totten January 2019, received Honorable Mention. Neill Slaughter (judge) wrote:
"One cannot help but smile while viewing this whimsical, wacky work, full of nervous energy and evocative gesture. The pig pulsates with playful mar-making, ad the staccato rhythm is consistent throughout the entire painting, indicating an individualistic " hand writing" of the artist who clearly has a singular vision of an outsider, as f inspired by someone like Van Gogh or Ensor or Soutine and other expressionist artists on the periphery of the mainstream in art history.
